Ben,
Maybe someone else knows another way, but where it breaks down is changing the name of the PSD file. For our workflow I just have a folder structure premade for all projects that have folders (empty) for AE, photoshop, mocha, protools etc. If I am versioning something out I don’t care if I have a PSD file in two different project files that might share the same name (George Forman named all his sons George someone once told me).
If I have to go back to the original project again, I just go into the graphics folder and remove my appending name and the associated AE project that is in that same enclosing folder is right back in business.
I am all ears if someone knows a way you can change the name of the PSD and not have to re-link every layer.

Ben,
I am assuming your replacement PSD file is named identically to your original PSD file (the file you appended the name of). Try placing this new PSD in a separate folder and then…
When you open your AE project it should tell you 100 (or how ever many layers) are missing. Double click on one of the missing layers which will open a dialog box then navigate to the new PSD file (that has the identical name as the original file) AE should then automatically link all the missing layers.
The other thing to keep in mind is that you can’t change the names of those layers…the contents yes, but not the layer names.
You are probably saying “tell me something I don’t know” but just want to cover the bases.
What OS are you running?

We do this all the time versioning projects. Just close the AE project. Go to the finder and append the PSD file name with something (eg FOO_dec12.psd). Place your revised PSD version where ever you want on your local drive, then open the AE project and repoint a single layer to the new version of the PSD file. All layers are re-linked.

Yeah. Tried that. No change. Seems like it has to be something else as the state changes after the app has been running for awhile.

Depends on the original file format that the shot was captured with as well. If DVCProHD its PAR is going to be 1.33 (for 720) or 1.5 (1080) so perhaps the MM software you are using is not picking up on that.

Have not tried re transferring yet. So what is the URL for the file?

It is just that frame. Card has not been erased. Can you see the uploaded frame? Looks like something is kluged with the html for that frame file in my browser…
